Quiet Years

Famous quotes containing the words quiet and/or years:

“The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“And for 180 years almost nothing.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
